The LIME Connection

The LIME Connection is a biennial conference which provides an opportunity in which quality review, professional development, networking, capacity-building and advocacy functions of the network are actualised.

It brings together Indigenous and non-Indigenous medical educators, Indigenous health specialists, policy makers, and community members from Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United States of America to discuss innovative approaches in Indigenous medical education and the experiences of practitioners.

It also aims to encourage and support collaboration within and between medical schools and to build multi-disciplinary and multi-sectoral linkages. The LIME Connection also hosts the LIMElight Awards which acknowledge and celebrate the many successes in Indigenous medical education.

LIME Connection VI will be held from 11-13 August, 2015 in Townsville, Australia. The theme is Knowledge Systems, Social Justice and Racism in Health Professional Education. Updates regarding LIME Connection VI will be sent to LIME members, posted on the LIME Connection VI webpage and included in LIME Network Newsletters.

Auspicing organisations included the Medical Deans of Australia and New Zealand (Medical Deans) and the Australian Indigenous Doctors Association (AIDA).
